Re: CG Effects in DV 2004-02-02 - By Ted

Hey there Andrew,
I have some of the same curiosities in terms of using Carrara with DV footage
and
wondered if you could shed some light on G-buffers. The manual only hints at
their
purpose and was curious how it might factor into video-compositing.
Also, anyone have experience with using HDRI lightprobes to match lighting with
video for compositing?
Thanks!
Ted
